Reindeer Games

My mom got me a bunch of those big Costco all beef hot dogs so I have been trying to find fun uses for them. Little hot dog reindeer... I am not thrilled with how the antlers turned out, but I will have to figure that out another time! I thought they were pretty cute anyway...

All beef hot dogs, vegan canola mayo and nori for the eyes, ketchup for the bright red nose!

Interesting sandwich...

Atticus wanted to make his own sandwich, since I had some homemade gluten free bread in the house.

And this is what he came up with: Banana clementine peanut butter sandwich. He ate the whole thing!

Gingerbread men

Well, I loved this idea, if I do say so myself! I put some red rice in the rice cooker the evening before and then smoothed it out in a brownie pan and popped it in the fridge over night. The next morning I used my gingerbread cookie cutter and cut the shapes out of the cooled red rice, it worked perfectly!

I used vegan canola mayonaise in a little ziploc bag with a corner cut out to make the "frosting".


On a bed of spinach, with sides of carrots, apples, raisins and pumpkin seeds.

Stockings

Hot dog stockings, cut the all beef hot dogs at an angle, and put them together with a toothpick. Pepper jack "cheese" cut and rolled around for the tops of the stockings. Easy and cute!

Sinterklaas Day

Sinterklaas kapoentje,
gooi wat in m'n schoentje,
gooi wat in m'n laarsje, 
dank u Sinterklaasje.


Putting our wooden shoes out tonight for Sinterklaas! Carrots for his horse... 




 Our shoes out... I don't have any wooden shoes and the kids felt like I was being left out so they put my black heels out, complete with a carrot and apple!
